Pad is 2.5 miles west of Buffalo, with the lateral running into Freestone County.

Results from their first well must have been decent enough to warrant proceeding with the second well?

Rig is still drilling their first well east of Buffalo (should be close to done). However, the test results from that well along with data from other deep vertical wells and the success of the Comstock’s first Freestone County well apparently has given Mitsui the confidence to move ahead.

Thanks for the update Alan, if I read correctly drill depth to 30,000 feet or does that include lateral as well?
